Wouldn't you think that was misleading and distracting? I think the forum is for everyone, but it's distracting to see one world championship per week. I don't want to read those threads, but I want to read world championship threads. If they are Chessmaster basement tournaments, at least he could preface the titles with "CM:" And really, these threads are starting to get very esoteric. Not only are we seeing results of these tournaments, we are seeing procedural posts, reported in such a way that you'd assume that people should take note of this stuff. But how small is the minority of people here who care if someone's basement tournament has been delayed for a week? bruce
